La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Akbarkoe]

Even though they knew that if Granada lost this match they would be relegated, this did not make Real Madrid forgive and instead Los Blancos beat them with a score of 0-4 without reply. Real Madrid completely controlled the game throughout the match and in this match Fran Garcia opened the scoring, followed by Arda Guler, then closed with Brahim Diaz's brace.

Apart from that, even though Real Madrid only played with second tier players, this did not make it difficult for them to secure this victory and they certainly want to maintain the stamina of their main players so they will be fitter for the Champions League final early next month. Well, Granada is unlucky because they have to return to La Liga 2 and for Real Madrid they have to maintain this stability so that the desired results continue to be achieved.

I think Granada will definitely be relegated next season. If Madrid don't beat them then another team will beat them. Moreover, you could see that that night Real Madrid only fielded their second tier players. They have won the league and will play in the champions league final. There is no benefit for them in fielding their core players. Actually, Real Madrid is not motivated to win because they really don't think about this match. But this result shows that Real Madrid really has that player and a good second tier player.

I also didn't expect Granada to be relegated so easily this season, but they weren't competitive enough this season, their progress was far from what people expected and they will have to return to La Liga for the next two seasons.

For Real Madrid themselves, who released their second-tier players, they performed amazingly, their young players played quite nicely, and it will be a tremendous hope for the future of Real Madrid if seen from here, the preparation for the UCL final is very important for Real Madrid, they must use their main strength to win the Final, But it's also a chance for the youngsters to make their mark and become first-team candidates for next season, and the extra time will give them confidence in the experience they'll gain at the end of the season because Real Madrid are already winners in La Liga, so they're not worried about losing.

Lewandowski has played for Barcelona for two seasons and in the first season he really performed satisfactorily by providing 23 goals with 7 assists for La Liga and 5 goals in the UCL, this season Lewandowski provided 17 goals with 8 assists in La Liga.
From all this, Lewandowski can actually still be said to be quite sharp striker even though he is 35 years old, if Barcelona let him go it would be very detrimental and Lewandowski this season is not too bad.
If I personally give an assessment, Barcelona decline in performance has nothing to do with Lewandowski because he has also played very well, but several other players have experienced decline and made Barcelona appear not like last season.
If the other players can play well and Xavi can work properly then it is possible that Barcelona will not be like this and Lewandowski can definitely have more goals and assists, the decision to throw out Lewandowski should be considered lot.

Moreover, the rumors about Lewandowski sale option are not because he is performing poorly but because of the salary increase that is burdensome for Barcelona, but considering how he plays I think it is worth the big salary.

Lewandowski is a great striker. He's still got the fuel in him to net in more goals. He's agile, skilful and his goal scoring abilities are at the peak. Although age is calling gradually but he's still got a bit of time in him to show his worth in the public and projected games too. Although like Ronaldo, even at the age he is, he still kept the zeal on. I don't think Lewandowski's case would be any different.

 Let him still use the ample of his time left to do exploits. He's got European cups and tournaments to journey through and in him, there's all that it'd take. Age is still favourable to him and he doesn't look like he'd slack in a few years to come, so for the mean time, he's got to enjoy his playing time before thinking of retiring back to the Arab league or quit football generally.

 The striker can still be a useful asset to the Spanish side. Despite the ups and downs, he's managed to stay in form and shape, he still does well to net in goals when he's got the chance to and so far his rate of play isn't really any need for alarm. The club themselves know how advantageous he is and also how difficult it is to get an active striker in the market now. So they've just got to stick to appropriate terms with him and also try to work with him as he strives to do his best in being relevant in the team too.

Xavi intends to strengthen Barcelona in the off-season and he is going to place a big emphasis on strengthening the attack. And I was surprised that he said that they would have to sell (or lease) Lewadowski, since he doubts that he will be able to achieve the desired form, hinting that at 35 it is difficult to do this. So Lewandowski left Bayern in search of new achievements, and now he may be left with nothing. Although for now these are just rumors, but if they are already talking about it, anything can happen. And Barcelona definitely needs to strengthen their attack.

Lewandowski has played for Barcelona for two seasons and in the first season he really performed satisfactorily by providing 23 goals with 7 assists for La Liga and 5 goals in the UCL, this season Lewandowski provided 17 goals with 8 assists in La Liga.
From all this, Lewandowski can actually still be said to be quite sharp striker even though he is 35 years old, if Barcelona let him go it would be very detrimental and Lewandowski this season is not too bad.
If I personally give an assessment, Barcelona decline in performance has nothing to do with Lewandowski because he has also played very well, but several other players have experienced decline and made Barcelona appear not like last season.
If the other players can play well and Xavi can work properly then it is possible that Barcelona will not be like this and Lewandowski can definitely have more goals and assists, the decision to throw out Lewandowski should be considered lot.

Moreover, the rumors about Lewandowski sale option are not because he is performing poorly but because of the salary increase that is burdensome for Barcelona, but considering how he plays I think it is worth the big salary.

I guess Barcelona is finally getting ready to see Lewandowski leave the team. They know even Lewandowski can't stay in the team forever they should accept that Lewandowski is getting old which means he can even join the Saudi team as he already had offers from these teams before.
Even Xavi knows this and I think he is trying to find the new players. That's why they wanted to hire Bernardo Silva from Manchester City but they couldn't do that so far.

Athletic club  vs Osasuna
2-2

This was a good comeback by the Athletic Club. First of all, I did not think that they were going to even drop points in this match. I expected them to win this match without any problems. I was really surprised when I saw that they were behind by two goals. But in the end it was a good performance from them and they definitely did well to actually get one point from this match. If Osasuna actually got three points from this match, it was actually going to be insane. But now I don't think it is going to make a lot of difference in the points table. Osasuna is going to finish in the mid-table and Athletic Club is also going to finish in the fifth position as well. By the way, I hope the Athletic Club is going to concentrate in their defense.

But this result shows that Real Madrid really has that player and a good second tier player.

Even though, for example, Granada managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw, the reality is that Granada will still be relegated. But even though Real Madrid won, based on the news before that Real Madrid did not celebrate the trophy in this match, the reason was to respect Granada who would be relegated, and this decision was of course a wise decision. But in any case, at least because Granada will be playing in LaLiga2 again next season, then of course this can make Granada recover even better if in the future returns to being a promoted team in La Liga. So yes, the point is that the preparations of the good promotion teams really need to be improved, because of course staying in La Liga is not an easy thing.

[Salahmu]

Real Madrid this season doesn't have whether they are playing with their second tier players or not, they can beat you with any of their players without any mercy. Real Madrid did not consider that Granada was going to be relegated if they lost the game. Real Madrid won the game 0-4 with their lower players without conceding any goal, Real Madrid will always be the best in La Liga even if they lose their top players because, with the way they played yesterday, I can't even differentiate them with their first starting players.

However, Garcia came with the opening goal and assisted for Gular for the second goal, I wasn't expecting Real Madrid to win the game easily because Ancelotti did not use their top players in the game, and they surprised me by scoring 4 goals at Granada home ground. Granada on the other hand, I don't think they will escape the relegation zone because it is impossible to secure 9 points in their next three games.

Which is good! What is the essence of losing to Granada when they know they will still be relegated even if they won? The opportunity was given to their academy boys to come and showcase their skills and talent, what do you expect from them?. Truly if i was part of those boys i would surely put all my effort so that in case of next time there is a position that needs to be refilled i may actually play alongside the first team in some important matches. That is how the world would see you and know that you are a good player.

However, Real Madrid is doing well by winning the LA Liga and now they are playing the finals in the UCL to bring back the UCL cup back home. They truly deserve all the good things that is happening now because it is the fruit of their hard labor. And they have proven to the world that they are the best.

I like your reasoning perspective but one thing you most know is that is not all the match they can use their Academy boys because is obvious that real Madrid will not allow them to perform and if they are not able to perform how then would people notice their performance, actually what I'm saying in essence is that with the current position of Granada is very good to try out the performance of their younger ones but in a match like real Madrid is not advisable because if they had putting their Academy boys Granada would have been more disgrace than they are now because their would have been a lot of goals against them.

Meanwhile if it was a match against more smaller clubs it would have been the right moment for those boys to come and showcase their talent because so many players that has gone far now started the same way but I'm actually happy that Granada did not use their academy boys on that match against real Madrid even if they knew they will end up in relegation.

[fuguebtc]

Las Palmas haven't won for a long time.We know that both teams have struggled to win in recent weeks but this time one of them had the chance to break the bad run.Mallorca managed to beat Las Palmas at home with a single goal.Neither team had many scoring chances and I thought the game was boring in general.
Sevilla have managed to move away from the relegation zone with their wins in the last few weeks.They have a good run of form and I expected them to win against Villarreal.Despite leading at half time, they conceded a goal in the last minutes of the second half and left the match without a point.Villarreal deserved to win the match.They played a better game than Sevilla.

Sevilla has long since risen from the relegation zone and protected itself from relegation to the Segunda, they are not fighting for anything now, and Villarreal still wants to compete with Betis, so they were more eager to win. But Sevilla has begun to play much better, they are almost undefeated in their last games, and perhaps in the summer they will be able to take advantage of the transfer window, and start the new season better.

Suddenly a lot of matches are becoming very interesting towards the end and the results of the matches are also changing a lot towards the end, especially in the injury time. Villareal still has a chance to finish in the sixth position of the table. But of course, a lot of things have to go right for them for that to happen. But I think they can at least try. But the problem is Villareal is going to play against Girona and Real Madrid in the next two matches. I do not expect them to even get one from those two matches. Even if they are able to get one point against Real Madrid, because Real Madrid is more interested in the Champions League right now, I do not think they are going to get even a single point against Girona. Because they are fighting with Barcelona for the second position right now. Sevilla is going to finish on the mid-table anyway. So nothing much to say about them.

Although in the match against Granada, I believe that some players will try to prove how good they are on the field, so they can have the opportunity to play among their first eleven, such as Gular, he makes sure that scores a goal in each match that he was given a chance to play. Even in their last three games against Real Sociedad Gular scored one goal that gave Real Madrid a narrow win in that match. I believe Ancelotti will consider him more than this next season because he has proved how good he can play on the field.

It was a huge surprise to see Athletic Club share a point at home against Osasuna, if someone predicted that the match would end up in a draw, I would disagree with that because all my thoughts were that they were fighting to get their chance among the clubs that can compete in the next Champions League. But the match didn't end as I was expecting. Athletic Club's two goals were ruled out in the first half due to the off side. After Athletic Club was down with two goals in the second half, I wasn't expecting them to make an amazing comeback to score in the stoppage time. Well, the one point is also important to increase their point difference with Real Sociedad.

This is the importance of squad depth, between the main players and reserve players their abilities are almost the same. I agree with your thoughts, actually Ancelotti can play the main or reserve players for a match. And Ancelotti doesn't need to worry if a main player is injured, because their substitute players are very ready if needed. Maybe in the remaining LaLiga matches Don Carlo will use a reserve player to face his opponent.

Ancelotti can carry out the player rotation plan safely after Real Madrid secured the La Liga title this season from two of competitor Girona and Barcelona. Ancelotti will certainly provide more opportunities for his second tier players who have been on the bench, of course this can help them gain better self-confidence after being neglected throughout the season.

Rotating players will be carried out by every coach who has secured a title, this can provide sufficient rest time for the main players who are tired due to the busy match schedule and intense competition. Main players are certainly needed in all matches, but Ancelotti will not force them to play as long as the second tier players can produce satisfactory results.

That's how it is when a great coach trains a team because Ancelotti knows that every player is as important as the main players and the reserve players. So when times like now come, the main players have to be looked after more to stay fit for more important matches. That's when reserve players will be used more for the remaining matches in domestic competitions such as La Liga, because on the one hand Real Madrid have also won La Liga this season and only have to hunt for one more prestigious title this season.

I think Granada will definitely be relegated next season. If Madrid don't beat them then another team will beat them. Moreover, you could see that that night Real Madrid only fielded their second tier players. They have won the league and will play in the champions league final. There is no benefit for them in fielding their core players. Actually, Real Madrid is not motivated to win because they really don't think about this match. But this result shows that Real Madrid really has that player and a good second tier player.

Is there anything like "if Madrid don't beat them..." in this season? Real Madrid will win their remaining matches and assuming they want to draw, it will never be with Granada, a team already relegated. I was think the discussion will be how best to utilize the free winning to make some money and not if Real Madrid will win because they will win them even with their second team. I am expecting a massive win, by this I mean a win from first half and with many goals. Despite that Real Madrid is preparing for the champions league final, their body language is showing that they are still very interested in maintaining clean records with each of their individual league matches.

They have been relegated, the points they can still get are 9 points, while their distance from the team in a safe position is 13 points, so it is no longer possible for them to catch up with that distance. They have to enjoy the last 3 matches in La Liga this season, because next season they will no longer be here.
Cadiz still have a chance to survive the relegation zone, but it is also very difficult for them to get it. Because apart from having to wipe out the remaining matches with a win, they also have to see Celta Vigo lose at least the 2 matches they play.

Main players are certainly needed in all matches, but Ancelotti will not force them to play as long as the second tier players can produce satisfactory results.

They have good squad depth, so when they rotate, their game is not much different from their game when they field the main squad and interestingly these players are young players who can carry out their duties very well if they are given the opportunity to play.
Real Madrid has a bright future with the players they currently have. Ancelotti has indeed played a role in building this, because what he is currently doing is going very well, and their transition from senior players to young players also looks very good, their transition does not show big gaps which means they are very successful in doing it.
The regeneration they have carried out so far has produced good results, although I don't think this is the actual fruit, because I think there are bigger fruits in the future that they can reap.

[FanEagle]

Real Madrid resting those players are very crucial, while the game is not anytime instantly, it is still not a good thing to tire your players out and considering the league title is guaranteed already, there is really no reason to play those players, it is time to rest them a bit so that they would have fresh legs when they come out to play at the finals.

By the way, don't think that they are just laying at home all day just because they are not playing, these players are still training like crazy and that is why I believe that we should be considering how they could get better that way, they are watching Dortmund and learning how to play against them and training what they will be doing in the game, so they are still working on it.

They almost lost, but they managed to score an equalizer in the final minutes before the match was over. They should be grateful for this result because they were able to avoid defeat and were still able to secure 1 point. However, this is also quite disappointing because I also predicted that they would be able to win the match, but it turned out it was not that easy for them to get.
Actually there was nothing wrong with their game, they played well. It's just that at the end of the first half and at the start of the second half they conceded a goal that was scored by Osasuna. They also had great difficulty penetrating the defense built by Osasuna, and were lucky they were still able to steal a gap in the final minutes.
Finally, Atletico Bilbao's competition slowly had to loosen up to fight for 4th place in the standings. At first they were quite convincing, but as the end of the season approached their performance had to decline.

Real Madrid rested their key players and used their B-team to thrashed Granada 4 nil. It's entertaining and interesting to see second XI handling their opponents as if they were on the same level. On the records, Carlo Ancelotti doesn't want to hear stories because the UEFA Champions League mean alot to him and his reputation as headcoach for Real Madrid. They've significant odds of winning the UCL title this season but it doesn't pose the fact that they should underestimate Borrusia Dortmund that will also travel to Wembley to face them. Edin Terzic have brought his team this far and giving up is not an option for them.

Madrid's performance in this match really surprised me. I didn't expect Madrid to perform so well. Real Madrid played this match with their second tier players. However, the team performed brilliantly. Madrid players have adapted themselves well to Ancelotti's match strategy. And that's why Madrid won by a huge margin of 4-0 at the home of Granada.

Madrid played an attacking strategy from the beginning of the match. A total of 13 shots were made by Madrid players, 7 of which were on target. On the other hand, although the players of Granada made 12 shots, there was only one shot on target. The dominance Madrid showed with their second row players was also surprising.

[Raflesia]

It's like practice but it seems that Madrid was too strong for Granada in this match.
There were only Modric, Rudiger and Camavinga who sometimes started in today's match while the rest were the substitutes and young players like Fran Garcia and Arda Guller who were given more matches to make them mentally trained but the results were really very good in this match.

The 4 goals without reply gave them more confidence in the game and that's because Madrid are very comfortable and Ancelotti is a genius in that he knows what to do and what formation to adopt when the players on the pitch are not in their core line-up.
I'd also like to commend Fran Garcia and Arda on today's game where they didn't waste the opportunities Ancelotti gave them.

TBH i didn't expect such a big result in this match because I still believe Madrid will win but I don't think they will win by this much in a match where their players are playing.

However, Madrid's performance was really good and I'm very happy to see their performance like today because I think this is something worthy of a big club like Madrid.
They're still serious even though they've already secured the trophy.

In addition i agree with what you said where in today match Ancelotti knows what he has to do and giving opportunities to some young players is a worthy thing.Now with the 3 points they managed to get Madrid does not seem to want to be close to the runner-up in terms of points and it is certain for now Granada and Almeria can not get out of the relegation zone. It's just a matter of waiting for Cadiz now because even though the difference with Rayo is already visible, Cadiz still can't be confirmed as a relegated club this season.

Madrid played very comfortably in today's match and they played without any burden especially when their opponent is Granada which is certain that they will be thrown into Segunda B next season when they lose this match but Madrid presented an extraordinary match and was very worth watching which made this even more interesting.

Some of the things I highlighted in yesterday's match were Fran Garcia and Arda Guller were really outstanding as young players. They are rarely given the chance to play for long but when they do they immediately show that Ancelotti is not wrong to give them game time.
1 goal for each player and 1 additional assist for Fran Garcia in my opinion is very good and deserves appreciation.
Looking at Madrid's current left-back seems quite complex where Mendy is very strong in defense but his passing is sometimes weak and Fran Garcia is a very good left-back in terms of passing and penetration but the defense he builds is sometimes still very weak,

In addition, this is the first time Valverde has not played in a Madrid match because for now his role is always complex and he always plays in every match but this match he was left on the bench for 90 minutes which I think is a new thing for him

A team like Granada isn't something difficult to handle for Real Madrid even it's a second tier team that they played agains Granada there is no way they will beat Real Madrid because they 4 matches in total for this season, Anceloti decision to used those players is justify because they have to prepare for the Champions League task ahead, they have already bottled Laliga, so the rest of the matches doesn't matter if not for the record of not losing a single match in a season.

They also tested Cortois, I don't want to believe that rumor is becoming true, I want to see Lunin take his flowers. It's going to be a mocking game for Real Madrid when they start losing matches right after Cortois resume towards the end of the season.

Edin Terzic have brought his team this far and giving up is not an option for them.

Carlo Ancelotti is a very good coach. I don't think they will underestimate Borussia Dortmund. You should never underestimate a team that reaches the final. Just as Borussia Dortmund defended well against PSG, if they can do the same against Real and score a goal, they can win the championship. For Real Madrid, the final that will take place on the first day of June is not a final to be underestimated.
